become callous to the idea that is waste for fraud in government. of course is waste and fraud, but this is egregious. this is offensive and scandalous. right now, it's largely tied to the somali community in minneapolis, we have only focused on three agencies so far. and john just as in minnesota said this will expand, get ready. this will be at least 14 different agencies, why 14? because walz cut off funding in the last two weeks to 14 total agencies, suggesting something could be wrong with more than a dozen state agencies. >> he is correct, there's one nuance i would like to add. the 14 were programs within one single agencies that walz's a demonstration cutoff the department of human services. the department of education,

labor, economic development, they have all been implicated in the scandalous. any agency of state government that gives out grants to companies, especially nonprofits, has been touched by fraud. the number we have for uncle verified is around $20 billion, but the number could be six, eight, the more we look, the more refined -- 2 billion. >> will: this does not happen without notice, not a short period of time. must we talk about it, the fraud looks like it occurred between 2019-2023. you waited from $3 million in funds coming from the federal government to 400 million on fake autism claims. there are red flags, people should know this. twelve think is happening, outwards suspect alluded to the governor, either they said look away, no big deal or they said good. >> it has to stop somewhere, it

has to stop with the governor, the chief executive officer of the state. almost the first example of this industrial scale of fraud occurred with child care clinics, child care centers, that goes back a decade to 2015. as, that was a spike around the covid-19 years of 2020 and 2021 with the feeding our future free food scandal, but it has accelerated since then when they shut down one fraud, they move on to another. >> will: and this man was a candidate for vice president vice president, let's see if he remains for governor of minnesota. thanks for the conversation here today. before the break, you were clear asked if there wasn't a report about how deeply in debt minnesota is, and we checked out, as of february, the state report shows minnesota is $8 billion in debt. how much of that is due to

fraud? coming up, a pre-med college student getting a f after using the bible to support her argument for traditional vendor roles, wait until we tell you what school that happened at, next. -- gender.

♪ >> welcome back. there is an online culture war going on. a pre-med college student at the university of oklahoma given a zero, she cited the bible to show there are two genders. that didn't fly with the trans gender ta and gave her a zero and told us that she lacked empathy. it takes first amendment rights seriously, starting a formal grade appeal process and the university, ou, placed on leave

the ta. joining us is the student at the middle of all of this. samantha. i read the criteria for the answer that you had to give. it didn't seem to match at all the criticism that the ta gave of your paper. >> yeah, not at all. i was told to give my opinion on gender stereotypes and gender norms so that's what i did. i didn't think that was me needing to be brave or have courage, i thought i was just sharing my opinion. like i was asked to do. that's what i did and i talked about the bible and what the bible says about gender norms and about how there are two genders and things like that and the response i got back was a zero on that paper and the ta saying that my writing was offensive and that i needed more empathy. >> i looked at the criteria and it said something like don't summarize the article you're responding to and have original thoughts and opinions all of which you did but then the ta came back and said, not backed

by science and medicine, and that you were offensive, right? in your body that there are, what, men and women? >> yes. exactly. that's exactly what i wrote about is that there are men and women and god created us equally with different gifts and abilities, and that our society is better off living with that structure and that idea in mind, and, yes. >> are you happy with how it's being handled right now by ou? >> at first i wasn't. they didn't tell me that they were going to do anything to resolve the issue. i didn't know that the ta was put on administrative leave until they released a statement on x saying that they had done that and that they take these situations very seriously. i didn't know they were going to take the situation seriously, and i don't know if that's because it blew up on social media and that's what caused them to act on it that way but when they were in contact with

me it didn't seem like to me they were going to do anything about it. >> will: samantha, we wish you the best of luck, except for the state fair weekend in october but, seriously, we wish you the best of luck in this. you don't deserve a zero. . thank you, samantha. >> thank you. >> will: let's do a quick will of the people. we'll just put this up on the screen. as an ultraconservative i can't stomach watching the yelling, head bobbing, arrogant ledge understand his own mind, will cain, i'll turn the channel until "the five" comes on. i've got good news for you, it's time for jessica and "the five." >> jesse: hello, everybody, i'm jesse watters. it's five in new york city and this is "the five." >> jesse: the liberal media is going hog wild over the coke
